DO YOU WANT TO LEARN MORE? University of Otago’s Māori Language Policy Principle 2 The University of Otago will be proactive in the promotion of te reo Māori by: Recognising competence in Māori language as a valued skill Urging departments to recognise in their selection criteria the desirability of appointing staff who are bilingual in te reo Māori and English. Encouraging University staff, both academic and general, to take te reo Māori papers. Encouraging students to take te reo Māori papers as part of their degree. http://www.otago.ac.nz/about/maorilanguagepolicy_engl.html University of Otago’s Study Assistance Policy Where study is work related but is desirable rather than essential, 70% of the tuition fee and expenses may be granted. Where an application to study Maori Language papers is approved the grant will be 100% of the appropriate fee (30% of that will be funded by the Office of the Director of Maori Development). Where an application to study level one Maori Studies papers other than the language papers is approved the grant will be 70% of the appropriate fee. http://www.otago.ac.nz/humanresources/policies/studyassistance/
